1. Rachelle W.

“Rachelle watched our two kitties for a weekend/overnight stay, including administering asthma medication and following lengthy instructions from anxious cat parents. We got tons of great pictures (above and beyond!) and exceptionally speedy communication throughout. We’re grateful for Rachelle’s care, thoughtfulness, and attention to detail. Thank you!”


2. suzy n.

“Suzy has been great house sitting for our 2 dogs and cat. She communicates frequently, and she is very attentive to our animals. I highly recommend her.”


3. Carolina R.

“Carolina was just awesome! She was caring and kind to all the pups. She took extra care for the smallest pup who is very sensitive. She is responsible, responsive, very reliable and great communication skills. The pups were very comfortable with her right away as they can sense a warm caring animal lover. I felt super comfortable with her taking excellent care and being present for them. She stayed with them and I super appreciate all her time and effort to make everyone comfortable and cozy. Great Big Thank You Carolina!”


4. Kelly M.

“Kelly was FANTASTIC. I was so worried leaving my fur child at home for the first time while my husband and I went out of state, but after booking Kelly, all of my anxieties were eased. She is super sweet and great with dogs. Bobby (our mini Aussie) felt comfortable around her immediately. She sent me updates and pictures throughout the weekend and made me feel completely comfortable and able to relax while away from home. I will 10000000% book her again and would recommend her in a heartbeat.”




5. Pamela N.

“Pam did a great job staying at my house with my 4-yr-old miniature poodle while I was away. I could tell when I got back that he had a really fun time with her, and he had been super well cared for. She sent lots of adorable photos, too. I would definitely hire her again!”


6. Sarah M.

“Sarah is AMAZING! We had her for two overnights in our house taking care of our dog and cat... Sarah was simply amazing. Not only was she responsible and reliable (obviously the most critical things), she was also friendly and genuinely cared for our pets in such a kind way! She provided frequent pupdates and cupdates about our pets, and it was so reassuring to know they were in such good hands and having fun. Our pets are very different - a bit of a wild goldendoodle and a very senior cat. It takes a special person to take such good care of them both. The pictures of our pets made us so happy while we were traveling since we could literally see their smiles in the images!! Not only was Sarah so great with our pets, she took incredible care of our home, too; honestly we found it nicer than when we left! Huge gratitude to Sarah and she has our fullest 5 star, 10 out of 10, most excellent recommendation!”


7. Liliana A.

“We had Liliana watch out Great Dane puppy for the weekend and she was so patient with him! She took care of him as her own and I would recommend anyone to have her watch their animal.”


8. Vanessa K.

“Vanessa was great! She treated our babies as her own (or maybe like an aunt who spoils their nieces and nephews 😍). She loved our babies and took great care of them!”




9. Louise W.

“Louise is amazing! She is the first sitter we used after adopting our very energetic puppy, and she did such an incredible job keeping her happy and safe while making sure our other dog and cat were as well. We’d absolutely trust her to watch our babies again.”


10. Tanay S.

“Tanay was great with our dog! Marshal warmed up to him really quickly and was even snuggling with him on the couch on day 2 and he’s not a super snuggly dog. Tanay’s easy going nature helped put me and my fiancé at ease with leaving him with someone other than family for the first time. He sent us pics and updates most days we were gone and made sure to text us with any questions he had. I would definitely recommend Tanay for house and pet sitting.”


11. Chelsey W.

“Chesley did a wonderful job taking care of Roxie. She was communicative, compassionate, and sent frequent pictures and updates. I felt at ease knowing Roxie was in good hands. I highly recommend Chelsey!”


12. Kylee P.

“Second time having Kylee in our home to sit for our pup and it went really well! Our dog was completely relaxed with her, and she’s usually anxious when we’re gone. Two thumbs up!”


13. Drew R.

“Drew was very patient with our dog, who can be (and was) very difficult. He handled her like a pro and she warmed up to him very quickly. He also ensured that our cat received all her required meds and was otherwise well cared for. I would highly recommend his services and will definitely book him again if we can.”


14. Zoe F.


“Zoe was amazing with my dog, Sadie! She kept me updated throughout the day, and sent me pictures of Sadie and her having a great time together. It’s always difficult leaving your pet, but I was happy to know that she was in great hands. I will definitely be using Zoe’s services again in the future!”


15. Aly S.

“Aly is great with Sadie! Aly has taken care of Sadie for me on multiple occasions, and I always know that Sadie is in great hands. Aly is very responsive, and keeps me up to date with how Sadie is doing. If you’re looking for somebody who is reliable and great with dogs, book Aly!”


16. Mya G.

“Mya house sat for us over the holidays and was the perfect caretaker of the house and the 2 dogs. She sent lots of photos, communicated promptly and left the house in great condition. Our mini-Dachshund is a bit of a handful, but she did great with her. And, our suspicious older Corgi even warmed up to her. Thank you, Mya!”


17. Alisha T.

“Alisha is a great pet sitter. This is my second time booking her and she was just as great as the first time. Very consistent and reliable. My pup is so relaxed when I return home which indicates he had a nice time with Alisha. She is also super flexible. Thanks again for watching the other two pup- their parents really enjoy you too.”


18. Daniel N.

“Daniel was great! Short notice availability. He was very accommodating with some minor last minute requests, and also when our relatives had to drop by a few times. Consistently sent (VERY adorable!) photos with a brief note/comment every day while we were on vacation. Was good about being communicative and responding to any questions as needed. House was left pretty clean when we came back. Highly recommend!!”


19. Liudmyla H.

“She exceeded my expectations. She was very careful and affectionate with my cat, and throughout the time, I received videos and photos in which the kitty looked very comfortable and happy. It is clear that she loves animals and knows exactly how to take care of them and make them feel comfortable and safe. She is very organized and responsible. In my case, she took care of my pet for eight consecutive days, and when I arrived, everything was perfect. I highly recommend her 100%.”


20. Sai A.

“Sai stayed in our home and cat-sat our attention-addicted cat for 12 days. During this time, he gave our girl a lot of love, made sure she had all her needs met, and was responsive to any messages we sent him. Sai is trustworthy and professional. We would absolutely ask him to cat-sit for us again!”
